Manic Episode: Another Side of Bipolar Disorder.

Welcome back, my friends!

My apologies for the extended absence. I’ve been very busy with other projects, which I’ll have to return to soon. Also, I wanted to make sure this article was perfect, because this one’s a little tricky.

So far, most of my articles have focused on depression. As someone with type II bipolar disorder, that’s the side I know best. Also, it’s the side that’s easiest for a person who doesn’t have bipolar disorder to understand. Everyone has been bummed at some point. Wanna understand bipolar depression? Take your depression, magnify by about a jillion, and there ya go. Pretty easy to understand, right? The other side of the coin isn’t as straightforward. A good metaphor, I hope, will make it easier to understand.

Panic Cure – Is There One?

Help

We can ask ourselves: Panic Cure – Is There One? (What if you have social anxiety?)

Panic sufferers are quick to ask, is there an anxiety cure that will make me stop having panic attacks?
The thing is, would you want to be cured completely?

It’s simply ignored when anxiety attacks become such a difficulty, but panic is there for a reason. It makes us alert when we sense danger. It causes our bodies to prepare themselves for any action that could be required to guarantee our safety.
Imagine finding the anxiety cure that removes all nervousness from your body. Imagine being wonderfully calm under all circumstances. Nothing stirs you. No matter what comes along, you don’t react. Your heart does not speed up. Your consciousness does not race. Your muscles don’t tense.
You just sit there. Unmoved.

Now imagine the “something” coming your way is a big grizzly bear. You’re so relaxed you actually don’t much care that it’s a threat to your well being. What do you suppose the result will be?
Yes, the bear might wander right on by and ignore you. It may, but you aren’t sure. It likely will need to sniff you and if it smells something engaging, it just might attack you.
